47 Year old Man Marries 8 Year Old Girl
Recently I have written a few articles concerning the issue of marriage. I think it was a month ago that there was an articles of a man who married his daughter off for money, beer, and food (I think). Anyway, someone sent me this video today and I was a little horrified. Once I got over the initial shock of it all (the thought of getting married at such a young age is terrifying, and rather disgusting to me), I started thinking. There are a lot of cultures out there that handle marriage differently than we (American's) do. I can't help but be clouded by my personal beliefs about marriage to really see the logic of an arranged marriage at such a young age. However, I would love to hear a different perspective. However, I do want to go on record saying this: "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU TO EVEN WANT TO MARRY AN 8 YEAR OLD. WHAT THE FUCK CAN SHE OFFER YOU!!! SHE ISN'T EVEN OLD ENOUGH TO INTENTIONALLY MAKE YOU MISERABLE (AND REALLY ISN'T THAT WHAT MARRIAGE IS ALL ABOUT)"
